Caught the final episode of the Merlin TV series titled "The Diamond of the Day: Part II". Three major characters died.

Were I a young man I would order a complete DVD set of this series. It's one series in which the magic isn't risible.

But, I am not a young man and I am not ordering the series because Merlin is the only three-dimensional character here. Everyone else is a flat, cardboard cut-out.
